i have a question about rocky fork lake, now please know that i have never seen the lake or even drove by the lake. i heard this lake is a spillway lake? is this true?
and is there a way to find out the lake levels? i tried the us army corps site but can't find it anywhere. need help.
also just wondering if anybody knows any water color and temps?
Thanks
It does have a spillway but it is NOT a flood controlled lake so I don't think you will find anything from army corp of engineering. I was there last weekend and plan on being there tomorrow. Generally water stays at a pretty constant level. It was a little high (compared to how much rain we had last week) and cold last sat. Water temp was 42-44 degrees. Water was muddy as well from rain and all the wind from Sat. when I was fishin' it.
spillway,yes
probably one of the best in the state right now , good structure lots of grass.
Takes some big weight sometimes.
My brother won yesterday with 3 that went 9.44
water looked good and was 46 in the A.M. some 48-50 P.M.
I was at the Highland County Hunting and Fishing show yesterday. I saw all the tourny guys as they got to the no wake down on the east end. Man did they look cold ! lol Heard That R.H. won as well. One of my buddies was out pre-fishing for next week and caught an absolute HAWG on his very first cast! He said that he caught 3 keepers in all. So , I guess a few of them were biting. Wish I could upload the pic of his big one. Said it was over 7#!
if conditions get right before next weekend it could easily take over 20# to win.
I have seen a few 7's and 2 over 8 in Tournys there.
My best there is 5.8 but have caught a bunch of 4-5 lbrs.
Phil I started right below the restraunt in the red skeeter zx180
IT WAS COLD !!

Man, Brad is bleeding everyone for all he can about Rocky Fork. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/stirthepot.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/stirthepot.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Yep that was us. I found that spot last year on my SI. Buddy found something last weekend and tried to idle over it to show it to me. We wanted to fish that area but yall was already there.
I might know a little about the White Oak pool but not as much as I do about the Tanners pool.

http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif You dang-gum tight lipped BA$TURDS! Spill the beans! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

For a brief moment in time, while we were both on the lake, I was willing to spill the beans, but you wanted to fish in that stinking cove where there is no fish this time of year...so I left you there to your own misery and alas, I never spilled the beans. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/stirthepot.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif yeah I know. I was still playing with my mota trying to get it to act right. I cant believe your batteries died and you left early. I was going to get you to do some "hot" laps in 40* weather. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Well, I did go from one end to the other, but I was shivering, I can tell you that. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif 40 degrees to me is entirely to cold especialy with the wind blowing. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif Not only did I get notified I need new TM batteries that day, my port side livewell pump in is dead also, so now I have to replace it too.
Get out there and get that sucker ready!
If you put on a night tx there let me know http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/newyear1.gif
We fish a cpl every year that are opens.
I normally fish them with my little brother we have caught 1 or 2 there at night
http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
Brad thats a community hole but it replenish's pretty regular. You will have to take a number to fish anywhere on that lake for the next cpl months
Buddy we are in Ohio .... they are all community holes. That is one reason I like the river, everybody has a chance to spread out some.
Let me know about one of them night tx's. I might have to take you up on that offer. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
